Whelp, Yup, He Done Did Break It!

So Friday…hubby broke his pedal. No, not the guitar pedal, not the car pedal, not the bicycle pedal. His foot — he broke his foot.

Now, after x rays, after doctors conferring, he’s literally “on ice and immobilized” until the swelling reduces enough that the orthopedist feels confident that it can be cast.

I’ve got a feeling that this isn’t going to be any of those nice take-it-off/put-it-on casts, either. I’m betting they do one of those fiberglass numbers — rigid and lots of fun in the shower. Hubs is a big man, and the joint got shattered into itty bitty pieces.

Needless to say, I’m not getting much work done. I’m not getting much of anything done. He needs lots of TLC and tending.

“Honey, can you get me a soda? …Can you get me a sandwich? Can you get my painkillers? Can you….”

So now I’m gonna be even further behind on my various need-tos/have-tos. Hubs comes first. Always. Don’t you wish every “other half” felt that way? Well, don’t marry until you and your choice are both over thirty, and then work at it. Remember, all that matters is the love, and also, when it comes to differences of perspective, is your point and your stance in the conflict worth more than your relationship? Probably not, so don’t fuss the small stuff, okay?

Good.

Several things, though: Don’t marry someone who prefers alcohol, drugs, or sports, never marry anyone who “gets physical,” and definitely do NOT marry anyone just because the sex is good. Really.

Night by D. L. Keur

Spirit of the moon,
Rising at the death of solar light,
Furls the wings of eagles' flight
Until the images of night
Are but an echo.

June, 1990

I've got long legs, and I absolutely love footless tights by Cette.

And, if you are at ALL athletic like I am. In other words, you DON'T look like you've got two hinged toothpicks attached to your crotch, MyTights has you in mind, too. Since I am athletic -- horseback riding, hiking, biking, climbling, as well as martial arts, well, I've got a bit of muscle on, and, believe me when I say that MyTights is terrific!
